I thought I would update the forum with the latest sightings on the reserve; we have the events trailer on sight now every weekend with a board that visitors can add their sightings to. Sunday was really busy and lots of sightings added including lots of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies as well as a good variety of birds. We already have a thread running where you can add your own sightings so please add to it to let others know what is about. Thanks.
